Richard Marquis's wheel-carved glass sculpture Razzle Dazzle Boat (2009) is part of an exhibition that treats the National Glass Centre's glass medium remit with a certain amount of poetic licence.

From paper collages to a costume constructed from lightbulbs and late acrylic paintings, this retrospective of the renowned Japanese artist sets the scene for an art of highly sensitive existential necessity.

The animal kingdom, or rather how we see it, is the subject of recent graduate Darren Harvey-Regan's meditative show of photography and installation, A Collection of Gaps. Sombre photos recalling museum catalogues depict 3D depictions of creatures against dark backgrounds, including a taxidermy badger swathed in plastic.

To contribute to the centenary celebrations of Peake's birth, an extensive show of his drawings and illustrations for his popular Gormenghast trilogy of novels as well as for such appropriately dark literary fantasies as Tales by the Brothers Grimm and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. This stuff is much more individualistic, personal and genuinely creepy than most of the fantasy art around these days.

David Askevold will be unknown to most in Britain. For a key generation of artists in the US, however, the late Canadian conceptualist left an indelible impression. It was as a teacher that he really made his mark, revolutionising the art college in Nova Scotia and then CalArts. Many works here are sensual and eerie, with smudged images or faces double exposed like ghostly visitations.

One of the big innovatory breakthroughs of early-20th-century art resulted from three or four irreverent individuals cutting out fragments of photographic scraps and sticking them together in outlandish combinations. This show, subtitled The Persistence of Collage, charts cut-up's development through the 20th and into the 21st century of British art, including sculpture and film as well as paper.

Andrew Lanyon's show hinges on a curious conceit linking the Cornish holidays of Hitler's ambassador with the innovations of the British modernists who flocked to St Ives at that time. Rumours and wry fictions breeding in the show's ether include Nazi plans to invade Britain using postcards of the coast as a guide.

Grange is the man behind the smooth snouts of InterCity 125 trains, curvy Adshel park benches and ubiquitous glass bus shelters, that 1970s kitchen icon, the Kenwood Mini Mixer, and the comfortingly round form of the new black cab. Over the past five decades the designer, along with his consultancy Pentagram, has been responsible for many of these small details that make up the big face of Britain.
